The Edmonton Oilers suffered a disappointing loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, prompting a surprising move which was just announced by head coach Kris Knoblauch. It looks like veteran forward Evander Kane will be scratched from the lineup for tonight's game against the Ottawa Senators.
Kane joined the Oilers amidst controversy, but has largely stayed out of trouble in Edmonton. However, with other players like Corey Perry getting more playing time, tensions may be rising.
The Oilers' lineup in their upcoming game against the Winnipeg Jets will provide insight into the situation. Resting Kane, who has played 67 games this season, could be a strategic move as they aim to secure second place in the Pacific Division before the playoffs.
